## The entire DevOps lifecycle
GitLab is the first single application for software development, security,
and operations that enables [Concurrent DevOps](https://about.gitlab.com/topics/concurrent-devops/),
making the software lifecycle faster and radically improving the speed of business.
GitLab provides solutions for [each of the stages of the DevOps lifecycle](https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/):
GitLab is like a top-of-the-line kitchen for making software. As the executive
chef, you decide what software you want to serve. Using your recipe, GitLab handles
all the prep work, cooking, and delivery, so you can turn around orders faster
than ever.
